Marking D-Day closer to home

Strictly embargoed to 0005 Friday September 17.'Undated picture of the D-Day landing in Normandy, France. Previously classified MI5 documents, released Friday 17 September 1999 by the Public Records Office, chart the success of the Double Cross System during the Second World War, which involved feeding misleading information to the Nazis via agents whom, Berlin believed, were working for Germany. The system's greatest triumph was operation Fortitude, which involved convincing the Germans that the Normandy landings (Operation Neptune) were just a diversion for a major attack further north.
